For all of its bright chaos, the film remains shockingly simple and true--a plain, decent, sensitive, everyday woman is tortured almost to death by her insecurities amid a parade of exaggerated, fabricated phonies. You don't think this was one of Fellini's best? THINK AGAIN. It was ahead of its time for the confused dilettantes in 1965 and it speaks more powerfully than ever today. Viva Giulietta!
I bet.. and in the past Greece was even more important than Italy.. :( But I'm happy to tell you that recently I've seen a GREATGREAT Greek movie! it is called Kynodontas (Dogtooth).. Maybe you've already seen it.. i LOVED IT.
The "trouble " with Federico Fellini is that he NEVER made bad films.Each one is a masterpiece, though, in different genres.
" Juilietta " is his attempt to get the "inside " view of a woman's soul ( as he did with a man's in "Eight and a Half", the best film ever made in the world,in my opinion).

Beautiful clips, but on the whole, this isn't one of Fellini's better films. There simply isn't much tension in the movie: it's pictorial rather than dramatic. It's remarkable how varied his work is; masterpieces like 8 1/2 and VITELLONI, and then movies like GINGER AND FRED, JULIET and CITY OF WOMEN. Save the good ones, forget the bad ones, I say.
Well, when I say "tension" I mean "conflict" in the dramatic Aristotilean sense. Giulietta seems to drift through this story without much purpose or opposition, and so the film itself seems rather purposeless. But please don't get me wrong: I'm a warm admirer of much of Fellini's work. I just don't think this is one of his more successful projects.
The dictates of Aristotle aside, what I found so enthralling about this movie (that I completely forgot why I turned the TV on in the first place and never looked away) was that the conflict was internal.
Giulietta's inventions of past and future pushed her away from the present and she was immersed in the manifestations of her conflicted sense of self.
Perhaps she was outwardly wearing a mask, drifting through, but inwardly was in constant conflict. I think it was beautifully portrayed
Great clip and of course Nino Rota's music a wonderful complement!

as italian, I'm furious we can only be proud of this past: the present is terrifying both in culture and human rights/politics.

And which rule book says every film needs to have "tension"?
